AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Transportable containers with tap devices, known as 'party barrels,' face issues with complexity and user-friendliness due to the need for pressure equalization and additional components, which lead to increased production costs and reduced usability.

Method used

A container design featuring a movable carrying device that acts as both a support and a tap lever, allowing for easy assembly and operation by enabling the spout to be connected to the valve only when in use, thus eliminating the need for an extra tap lever and simplifying the structure.

Benefits of technology

This design reduces the number of components, enhances user-friendliness, and maintains the quality of carbonated beverages by preventing accidental fluid discharge, while allowing for easy transportation and stacking.

Abstract

The invention relates to a container (10) comprising a tap device (16) for tapping a fluid, a fluid container (12) for receiving the fluid, a carrying device (14) with a carrying handle (32) for carrying the fluid container (12), wherein the carrying handle (32) can be moved relative to the fluid container (12), a valve (42) which is designed to let the fluid out of the fluid container (12) in an actuated state, and a spout (44) which can be connected to the valve (42) in order to discharge the fluid let out of the valve (42). In a connected state, in which the spout (44) is connected to the valve (42), a movement of the carrying handle (32) relative to the fluid container (12) leads to an actuation of the valve (42), whereas in a non-connected state, in which the spout (44) is not connected to the valve (42), the relative movement of the carrying handle (32) does not lead to an actuation of the valve (42).
